Watching The Queen Pass By

July 24, 2012

Thursday afternoon many locals watched as the American Queen went down the Ohio River past our riverfront communities. It had passed by on July 16 on its way to Pittsburgh and was heading to Cincinnati. The impressive paddlewheel steamboat will be passing this way again a couple times in the next week. Their schedule includes a trip from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh, July 22 to 27, and Pittsburgh to Louisville, July 27 to Aug. 3. Generally speaking, you can expect to see the boat pass by the banks of Wetzel County a day or two from its time in Pittsburgh. So perhaps today or Thursday and then again Saturday or Sunday.
